FNG aboard!

In searching professor Google for an answer to, “Oh, crap. First time using flavoring grains for an IPA and now I’ve got a bunch of trub in my carboy. WTF do I do now?” I find out from this forum that the answer is, “Give yourself a round of applause!” Because it ain’t no big thing. In fact, it may turn out to be a good thing. Anyway, after reading several informative posts about that and other things I decided to sign on for a tour of duty.

Thanks much, guys. Now to prep for a blowoff valve, if needed, due to all the trub.

Actually what you have is

Krausen​

It forms on Top of the fermentation and can be minor to overflow.

We generally use a tube to water (like in a 1 gal plastic jug ) just in case we have over flow. We put the jug in a larger containter for overflow. Happens once in a while.

We call it Krudzen.
